title: [Contribution of proteolytic enzymes to the knowledge of biologic functions of fibronectin].
abstract: Proteolytic enzymes have been used to separate and analyze the fibronectin sequences responsible for the multiple interactions between fibronectin and collagens, proteoglycans, cell surfaces, etc. The location of these sequences on the molecule subunits has also been determined. This short article summarizes these results as well as future prospects.
